Here you go, Tom. From an old Bon Appetit. I've done this one many times
and in much larger quantities and can personally vouch for it.

Spicy Glazed Pecans

1/2 c sugar
3 TB water
1 scant tsp salt
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (feel free to get creative here!)
2 c pecan halves

Preheat oven to 350. Butter a heavy, large baking sheet. Combine first 4
ingredients in a heavy small saucepan. Stir over medium heat until sugar
dissolves. Boil 2 minutes. Add pecans and stir until pecans are coated with
mixture, about 1 minute. Transfer pecans to prepared baking sheet,
spreading evenly. Bake until pecans are just beginning to brown, about 13
minutes. Transfer to cookie sheet lined with waxed paper and separate
pecans with a fork. Cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
